An image of me, right now

I made an HTML page once in elementary school for an elective, and I also don’t get it :)

I just wanna be a part of the conversation lol. But also what the fuck even is this meme 😅

I doubt this will help my deep discomfort but it did make me happy :)

Someone mentioned that it wasn’t being maintained anymore, but if I try void again I’ll have to take a look at that. Though its definitely not the same as a traditional app store interface like gnome software (flawed though it may be) where you can see the icon, screenshots, even reviews, and I would definitely really miss that functionality when browsing for something. And given I use gnome it may be hard to make it look at home on my desktop

I was really enjoying learning how to try and set up void, but I really like having access to a graphical app store thats easy to browse 😢 someday I’ll have to revisit it

A gtk app for YouTube and/or twitch intended for media PCs would be neat, with controller/remote support and ui optimization for air mice.

I don’t like the ux of kodi very much and trying to get it to play YouTube has been a nightmare 😅 a simple app with a decent user interface would be very welcome

That is a pretty excellent image

Allowing a country’s political party to position their industry in a monopolistic way is a bad idea. When one group controls an industry they much more easily exploit their consumers. Encouraging folks to buy ev’s in general is different from undercutting prices to create a dominant position in the market that can be exploited once you have no meaningful competitors

That being said, we all know thats not why they’re doing it, they’re doing it to protect the interests of US auto makers, which also sucks

That sucks, I’m really sorry man :(

Dude that sounds rad! Thanks for mentioning them and explaining what they are, I’ll have to check that out!

What is radio free fedi?

I mean, if you can factory reset a phone to strip the need for authentication, that seems like kind of a bad thing, no?

I don’t think something like duckduckgo is gonna be the eventual contender to take on google. I think it’ll have to be an engine with its own index or some kind of lateral solution.

Something like brave, kagi, qwant, or stract could maybe turn into something exciting with more momentum, but honestly I have a hard time seeing them be the kind of scrappy competitor with a new approach that unseats the old king who has lost their way in pursuit of more profit at the expense of product quality. None of them seem like they truly have a new approach, but only time will tell how that story plays out this time.

I think it takes a while for that kind of competitor to emerge and gain enough traction to become a genuine alternative option. The primary option everyone long since adopted kinda has to suck for a while :/

As someone who much prefers gnome for my desktop this shit is so frustrating. I’m kinda just waiting and watching to see if they ruin another thing I like about it :(

Its fucking exhausting

Dude thats dope!

Not the person you replied to- you could consider adding a correction or [sic] or something while still including the original headline unedited

Hope you have a good day :)

Thats dope! I’ll be looking forward to it, thanks for sharing your knowledge of what’s going on ☺️

Fair enough, I’m sorry for making assumptions about you.

I do think my points stand though

Gotcha. Yeah thats more or less how I remembered it… 🙃

Its a bummer, I used to consider myself a fan of Google’s direction. But lesson learned I suppose, money is power and power corrupts.
